We like to thank Alex Rizos of the fashionable Le Club Des Douze, for having our Cappello Nero cycling cap featured on: Selection #107: BMX for Adults post. I talked with Alex about contributing one of our caps and we are honored to have our Cappello Nero on their most stylish Paris based website. Merci Alex!

From time to time we're asked to make custom size caps. Depending upon fabric availability we can most often create one from our ongoing selection. Here's a fine photo, from Jess Baldwin, of her husband and son sporting our Black Sheep winter cap. Her son gets a custom size: XS (19.5-21inches - the smallest cap we make) Black Sheep winter cap because... like father... like son! Thanks for the photo Jess and enjoy!

Feedback: Lone Wolf Cycling Cap

via Taylor Clark




The feedback from the custom Lone Wolf winter cycling caps have been so positive -  here's Taylor Clark's recent comments...


Hey! I jus wanted you guys to know that I recently purchased a Lone Wolf Cyling winter cap that you manufacturered and it is fantastic! I have done my fair share of cold weather cycling in some pretty crappy conditions and this cap is by far the best. The quality and material are stellar. The cap is aesthetically appealing and functional. Cheers! Taylor



Thank you and enjoy Taylor!

We are pleasantly surprised the first batch of custom Lone Wolf Cycling winter caps sold out so quickly. Tim and Jason quickly contacted us and placed a second order. So, we ramped up production and finished it in ten days. The 100% Italian wool winter caps are now available from their website.

The custom caps are gaining in popularity, here's a testimonial from Tim...


This came from a friend and customer who lives in New Hampshire...

Dude. I have done my fair share of winter riding in some very extreme weather conditions over the years. Your LWC winter cap is the best!


Thank you.

Our cycling caps are made to be worn on or off the bike. Stylish is the key. The Urbane Rider cap is unobtrusive, low key able to blend into the urban environment. Made from superfine 100% wool - comfortable and beautifully subtle.
